The Prince's Speech by a8c_sock Arthur/Merlin [PG] (37k)
Summary: Arthur is the Crown Prince of Camelot, he has just one problem, his speech. When his father takes ill he finds he must either find his voice or risk losing the throne. Can unconventional speech therapist Merlin Emerson help the Prince speak? And what happens when the Prince falls in love with the man who has helped him find his voice?

I loved The King's Speech and pounced on this fic when it posted. The story follows the movie very closely in the first part of the fic, but I was pleased to see that it deviated significantly midway and became its own tale by the end of it. A lovely read.

French Kiss, or Why Merlin Is the Worst Thief Ever by dracosoftie Arthur/Merlin [R] (30k)
Summary: When Arthur’s fiancé, Val, leaves him for someone else, Arthur is forced to confront his fears and fly across the ocean to win him back. Nothing goes to plan, though, including meeting thief Merlin Emrys.

This is a sweet re-telling of French Kiss. I was a bit nervous because Merlin as a thief doesn’t work for me without reason, but I like the twists that the author gave to the original, both incorporating magic and 'justifying' Merlin's thievery. It followed the movie pretty closely, which means a few pretend boyfriend moments. WIN!

See You Roll by leashy_bebes Arthur/Merlin [NC-17] (2k)
Summary: PWP. Arthur and Merlin and a nightclub toilet. Because why not. Drunk (and other unspecified whatever) sex, established relationship.

Hot, hot, hot club sex with fingering kink. yeah. Delish.

I loved "French Kiss," so I know what I'll be doing for the next little while. There's so much out there right now (between still unread BBs and Reel_merlin), thanks for pushing me in the direction of specific reads!

My to read bookmark is bloated...

"See You Roll" is scorching hot. Phew.
